Description
Book SynopsisThis book tackles the fascinating subject of human inner life (feelings, emotions, sentiments and self-reflection) permeating different forms of art.
The notion of translation is applied to explain both the mechanisms of transposing human feelings into artistic works and interactions between different fields of art. Art offers a type of description close to human perception in a way in which all elements of our inner life are embodied in signs, codes, and systems made up of words, sounds, or images. Semiotics and thinking in terms of translation make it possible to find points of convergence between works coming from different disciplines of art, or even between different artistic-semiotic systems.
The book examines how so-called human inner life can be translated in different arts and between the arts. It also shows the arts as a tool of communication using a wide array of case studies taken from different times and cultures, and explains what arts use
